Mamata Banerjee was accompanied by TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee.Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah, along with Left Front leaders John Brittas, Dipankar Bhattacharya and P Sandosh Kumar, are also participating in the meeting. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray will attend the meeting virtually.DMK will not attend the meeting as Congress ended its long-standing partnership with the party after Congress joined hands with the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). However, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) president Thol. Thirumavalavan arrived at the Constitution Club. Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) MP NK Premachandran will also attend the meeting. Speaking to the media in New Delhi, KC Venugopal claimed that the BJP was afraid of the INDIA bloc meeting. You (the media) understand how scared the BJP is of this meeting, he said. Weighing on the posters criticising Rahul Gandhi put up at several roundabouts in Delhi, Venugopal said, I dont see any posters.The meeting is crucial for the opposition grouping not only due to the challenge posed by the growing political dominance of the BJP but also due to the differences within. This comes at a significant time following a major electoral loss in West Bengal.Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D Raja said that the Left will flag the statements by the Congress leadership against the Left Democratic Front (LDF) during the Keralam Assembly elections.The CPI leader said, One of the issues is that the national-level Congress leaders questioned the integrity of the Left during the Keralam elections, the Left has an alliance with the BJP. Such things cannot be accepted; there has to be a mutual trust. In the absence of mutual respect and trust, how can we build a united movement? The INDIA bloc is a united front which was formed with a common resolve, Desh Bachao, BJP Hatao. What are we doing to save the nation and defeat the BJP? We will discuss that, he added. The CPI(M) has also conveyed its concern to Congress over the systematic campaign against its leadership during the Keralam Assembly polls, but the party has decided that MP John Brittas will attend the INDIA bloc meeting.

'God's Will That Vaibhav Came To Me For Training,' Says Childhood Coach Ojha After Teenagers Maiden T20I Call-up

Gen Next Academy: On a fine Saturday afternoon, Manish Ojha was doing what he has done for a long time making his students go through their paces at his Gen Next Academy in the Sampatchak area of Patna. Amidst the focus on the trainees perfecting their craft in the afternoon training session, Ojha got a call from Sanjeev Sooryavanshi. The message was short, but electric: his son Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got his India senior mens T20I call-up to tours of Ireland, England, and the Asian Games event in Japan. Hearing that, Ojha was left really delighted and congratulated Sanjeev. It was expected that, the way Vaibhav was performing well in the T20 format, he would get the call-up. He performed well in the U-19 World Cup win and then showed his explosive strokeplay in the IPL. So, it was quite obvious and expected for me that he would be given a chance. But when he would be given a chance, I had no idea. Now that it has come, it's a great moment. After I congratulated his father, he, in return, congratulated me, Ojha recalled in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Saturday. The mutual congratulations felt earned because what Sooryavanshi has done at 15 years of age isn't merely precocious - it is historic. In the words of chief selector Ajit Agarkar, Sooryavanshi had almost forced his way into the T20I squad. It's not hard to see why. In the 2026 IPL, Sooryavanshi made a staggering 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30, and single-handedly dragged Rajasthan Royals to Qualifier 2. He hit 72 sixes - breaking Chris Gayle's record for the most maximums in a single season. He became the first player in IPL history to be named both the Most Valuable Player and the Best Emerging Player. Before any of that, Sooryavanshi wowed the world by walking out and making a whirlwind 175 from 80 balls - 15 fours, 15 sixes, the highest ever individual score in an ICC World Cup final - as India posted 411/9. He finished the tournament with 439 runs at a competition-best strike rate of 169.49, a World Cup-record 30 sixes, and the Player of the Final as well as Player of the Tournament awards in his pocket. Before those senior assignments, he will line up for India A in the 50-over tri-series in Sri Lanka from June 9-21. He is, by some distance, the youngest player selected in an Indian men's squad since a teenage Sachin Tendulkar announced himself to the world in 1989. Back in Patna, Ojha doesn't need match footage or highlight reels to remember how the Sooryavanshi journey began - the memories in his mind are sharper than anything. I often talk to Sanjeev ji about the journey from the start to the present. All of those memories are still vivid in my mind - the first time I met him, the first practice session he did under me, him coming to the academy and going back home - all these memories appear in front of my eyes now. Not just in Bihar, there are thousands of cricket coaches in India. But it was God's will that Vaibhav's father came to me with him at my academy. It was God's grace that he made me capable enough to put in a lot of hard work on Vaibhav and invest heavily in him. It is all due to God's blessings that Vaibhav has reached a very high level and made me very proud. Without God's grace, all these things don't happen in life. What strikes Ojha most isn't just the talent - it's the trajectory of Sooryavanshis improvement in 2026. The improvement has been visible, quantifiable, and almost startling in its consistency. His level of maturity is improving at every level. His execution capacity in terms of stroke play is improving. There are a lot of differences between playing at a local, state, and international level. But Vaibhav has maintained the intent of their game on all three platforms. In fact, I would say that you can clearly see the improvement in their strength. All the experts who have seen him play can easily point out the difference between how he batted in the first IPL and the second IPL. When he played the initial matches of U-19, after he reached there for the first time and from then to the difference in his game in the World Cup, there has been a lot of difference in terms of maturity, shot selection, and execution. Day by day, Vaibhav is growing as a player. He is improving his skill sets and executing them better. You can see his performance - it has improved by three times since the last IPL. Yet, for all the records and the fanfare and the historic comparisons to Tendulkar, Ojha is careful not to let the moment be mistaken for the destination. I would say that this is the first step in the ladder for Vaibhav after earning selection into the T20I team, as he has to serve Team India for a long time. When he played the initial matches of U-19, after he reached there for the first time and from then to the difference in his game in the World Cup, there has been a lot of difference in terms of maturity, shot selection, and execution. Day by day, Vaibhav is growing as a player. He is improving his skill sets and executing them better. You can see his performance - it has improved by three times since the last IPL. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Fifteen years old - barely old enough to remember Dhoni lifting the 2011 World Cup, and yet hes the most enthralling batting talent since Tendulkar captured the worlds attention. Hes already rewriting records and becoming the batting lynchpin in a line-up with more established batters. Sooryavanshi's ladder to a permanent India berth has only just appeared, and Ojha already knows where it leads to and how long this dizzying climb will last. Article Source: IANS

We were at home and were waiting for something good to happen. We were very happy when the announcement was made. Our entire family, people in the society and village came to our home to congratulate us. Everyone distributed sweets and laddus, while crackers were even burst. We are very, very happy. Vaibhav has worked very hard since childhood for this his aim to play for the country. Today, he has got the reward of his hard work and will get the saubhagya (the good fortune) to play for his country. We are very, very happy for him, Sanjeev told IANS in an exclusive conversation, even as visitors continued to arrive at his home.

He will first feature for India A in the 50-over triseries in Sri Lanka from June 9 to 21 before joining the senior side.

As of now, Washington Sundar is India's youngest T20I debutant at 18 years and 80 days. With the first half of 2026 seeing him garner praise from Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill Sanjeev said he had sensed the breakthrough coming for Sooryavanshi. Yes, I strongly felt it that he may get a callup to the senior team this time. Its because the way he played in England, Australia in the U19 games, then in South Africa and the U19 World Cup win, it was just outstanding. Moreover, he did well in the Emerging Asia Cup in Qatar and this years IPL too. Keeping all of that in mind, I had a feeling that it would be all good for Vaibhav. The selectors of BCCI have shown confidence in Vaibhav and we are very happy and thank them for showing their faith in him, added the elated father. Amidst the joy of celebrating Vaibhavs call-up to the India T20I set-up, Sanjeev recalled about the time the teenager first picked up a bat as a five-year-old kid. The spark he showed while batting was enough for cricketloving Sanjeev to throw himself into the grind, sacrifice and grit needed to shape Vaibhav into an international cricketer. For years, his father Sanjeev accompanied him every other day from their home to coach Manish Ojhas Gen Next Academy in Sampatchak area of Patna. The oneway journey was of nearly twoandahalf hours, but Sanjay would do it for the sake of Vaibhavs cricketing future, while his mother Aarti Singh would wake up at 3 am to ensure her son carried homemade food to the academy. Every parent in the world does a lot of hardwork for their child. I have also been doing a lot of hardwork since childhood for Vaibhav. He was five years old when I started for him to play cricket. He and I both worked very hard. When he was 8, 9, and 10 years old, I got him to play matches and felt that he had something different in him in comparison to others. From there, he began to play a lot and even used to play in the senior team too. Seeing that, I felt that he had it in him to play at a higher level Every parent in the world does a lot of hardwork for their child.
